Did I make a mistake?

Post by Ralphxyz »

I purchased a 3dConnexion CadMouse Pro.
I can not use it in the Trainer. It does nothing.
I have a older 3DConnexion device that I used to play with in the Trainer doing all of the exercises.
I Downloaded and installed the latest driver. This is on a Windows 11 computer.
I am really confused and really do not know where to start.

Thanks for the help.

Short Answer YES I made a mistake!
Luckily I bought through Amazon so no hassle on return.
My mistake was I "thought" the CadMouse Pro was a 3D mouse not just a overpriced mouse.
My prior 3Dconnexion 3DMousewas a Space Pilot Pro.
I had tied using the Space Pilot Pro with the newest Sketchup
but the Space Pilot Pro was no longer supported. It did not work with the newest version of Sketchup.
I rarely use SketchUp any longer. I used to use it a lot when I had a 3D printer.
Now I am using SketchUp Web the free version. I could not subscribe to a yearly fee
for something I rarely use.
But TaDah! the Space Pilot Pro works in SketchUp Web!! :D
I should have tried before buying the CadMouse Pro. :oops:
